I got my packet of charms and stickers from @potatosonnet !! they are wondrous and joyful! I'm still deciding how best to deploy the charms, but the stickers now live on my Wacom tablet case, to Inspire and Delight:D

The main stickers, dancing up a storm on the cover!

I'm especially happy I could get all the artsy-craftsy team up by the header

Also gleeful about the lineup of the crew I have going even if it only makes Super Sense to me XD

meanwhile Sunjolras watches me judgementally if I see the side that means I've shut things down:

THANK YOU POTATO THEY ARE SO GOOD AND SO HAPPY

(--a note about this case: it is designed to look like a Mead Marble Cover Composition Notebook, which pretty much was THE look of composition books in my school years, though I suspect it is not Universal. It would be weird if it was! but anyway I've been dying to get this one properly covered with Weird Stickers ever since finding it and now I haaaaave:D:D:D)

please check out @yvesdot's remastered debut! trust me, it's worth a read and a reread and a re-revisit. for the blog tour, i give you... another blast from the past, an old-fashioned writeblr-style comic sans powerpoint!

Something’s Not Right, published by tRaum Books, will be released October 10th 2023 and is available to preorder at Amazon, Bookshop.org, and itch.io. It will also be available upon release signed from Bookshop Santa Cruz. yves. will also have a local event at 6:30 PM on October 12th at the Santa Cruz Diversity Center and another on January 4th 2024 (to be announced) at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

(my sixth favorite story is koschei, btw. shoutout to koschei. sorry i left you off the slides)

(slides described under the cut)

all slides are written in white comic sans on a black background.

slide one: text reading "FIVE reasons YOU should read" over a cropped image of the cover for Something's Not Right, featuring the title. smaller comic sans next to the image reads "by yves."

slide two: at the center of the slide, text reads "1. IT'S GAY!" smaller text boxes, scattered around the slide, read:

so many transgender people

you want fluff? we got fluff. you want angst? we got angst. you want high octane drama? we got it

you like metaphors for queerness? we’ve got metaphors for queerness

some characters’ identities are plot relevant! some of them just happen to be trans!

there’s even an m/f couple i actually like!

there’s literally a lesbian robot what else am i supposed to say

first book where i ever saw a they/them lesbian referred to as a woman and they at the same time <3 <3 <3

you want monsterfucking? we got—

between the first and third boxes is this image of feathers. beneath the monsterfucking box is this image of a halo/eclipse. beneath the they/them lesbian box is the anakin image from this post, reading, "dyke business. go back to your drinks"

slide three: the top of the slide reads "2. CLEVER USE OF TROPES AND TALES." the bullet points beneath read:

the author was a lit major & lovingly: it shows

fresh takes on everything from sexy vampires to demigod/human romance

do you like russian folklore? do you wish it was set in your high school

hansel and gretel story followed immediately by wlw fairies

STORY WHERE VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN GOES TO A PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE

an arrow points from the sexy vampire bullet to an image of edward cullen, captioned "this guy isn't in there." another points from the frankenstein bullet to a picture of the book Frankenstein, captioned "this guy is, tho"

slide four: at the center of the slide, text reads "3. DELIGHTFUL NARRATIVE VOICE." smaller text boxes read "the sheer range of the range of character narrations in this book is impressive and so fun" and "we got teen talk we got litfic prose we got monsters narrating we got ordinary people." there are also three quotes from various stories, set in speech bubbles:

“Everyone’s cousin Tanya says she’s done it with an elf dude. That doesn’t mean shit.”

“And all of these things were true, and simultaneous, and all of them were occurring only a moment before she might be killed, and rise again.”

“At first, the plants seemed quite innocuous, and Ephraim watched them pile up on the windows of the little greenhouse with mild curiosity.”

there is also an edited image of the "she doesn't have the range" meme, reading, "they have the range."

slide five: the top of the slide reads "4. DON’T LIKE ONE-OFFS? NO PROBLEM!" the bullet points beneath read:

do you prefer your short stories unrelated to each other? completely tonally variant?

SNR has got that!

do you prefer your short stories interconnected? do you like recurring characters? do you want to see… characters from OTHER yves. projects?

SNR has got that too!

smaller text boxes read "Red and Eliza from Forest Castles are there!" and "maybe avner too. i'm not allowed to say"

there is also a picture of hannah montana's "best of both worlds" album.

slide six: the top of the slide reads "5. THERE ARE NEW STORIES IN IT!" the bullet points beneath read:

already an SNR fan? already have a copy? you haven’t yet read the new content!

THREE new stories

what if the alien abductee you were interviewing had questions… for you?

what if you had to love-potion your crush… for someone else?

what if you had to come out to your date… AS A MONSTER?

there are clipart images on the side of an alien spaceship, a bubbling potion, and a lit candle.

slide seven: word art with a glowing green shadow reads "max's favorite stories :)". each story blurb goes with a corresponding image:

Six Hours Under: the woman on the L train is crying, dead, and very very pretty. [clipart of a train]

Monsters and The Guy: there’s a guy in Arrivals. he’s being weird about it. [clipart of an airport]

The Hands and The Mouth: the story-speakers speak only in script. there are only a few of them left. [clipart of rolling waves]

Don't Feel Guilty: a teen’s plant collection starts to unnerve their father. [clipart of a leaf]

Blood Orange Tea: getting trapped at work with your crush is awkward even when you’re not a vampire. [clipart of iced tea]

slide eight: large text reads "THANK YOU. GO FORTH AND BUY SNR." in smaller text is the information paragraph from this post.

Are YOU a vampire or some other creature who relies on the consumption of blood? Are YOU growing bored with the same texture and taste, day in and day out? Do YOU need something new to drink while reading the fifth anniversary edition of yves.'s Something's Not Right? Try mixing sustenance with energy by adding blood to your coffee! Some humans mix protein powder into their morning brew, so why should things be any more difficult for you? Here are five ideas to get you started!

Latte

Let's start simple! A latte is something that lots of folks can enjoy, with just a little foam on top for that change in texture so many search for! On top of that, it's endlessly customizable; you can leave it as-is if you'd like to really keep that taste of iron on your tongue, or you can add in flavor syrups to spice things up! Plus, wouldn't little fangs drawn with milk on the top be simply adorable?

2. Iced Coffee

Speaking of endlessly customizable! The only requirements for an iced coffee are simply that: ice and cold coffee. Those who enjoy the taste of blood but want a little change can keep it simple, while those who want to cover it up can pour in cream, sugar, and flavor syrups to their heart's content! As a bonus, this drink can easily be poured into a tumbler for those on-the-go.

3. Affogato

For those with a bit of a sweet tooth! This drink is traditionally served over vanilla ice cream, but we say why not try something a little different? Why not chocolate for a sort of mocha flavor, or cherry to go with the blood you're pouring in? If you're feeling fancy, you can even save a little blood for the end to drizzle on top like a syrup!

4. Frappe

Here's something decadent, and still quite customizable! Frappes come in many different flavors, and as they are basically a coffee milkshake, they're perfect for those summer days when you aren't really in the mood for warm blood trailing down your throat. Plus, who doesn't like chasing something down with a large helping of whipped cream?

5. Coffee Freakshake

I mean, come on. We HAD to include freakshakes! They're all the rage these days, and talk about decadent! For the blood-drinking influencer who really wants to conceal the blood in their meal, and who may still have a taste for the sweet things from their old life.

Do you think you'll try any of these drinks? Which was your favorite? Do you have any suggestions to break up the monotony of blood-drinking? Let us know in the comments and reblogs, and don't forget to pick up a copy of Something's Not Right, out October 10th, 2023!

Something’s Not Right, published by tRaum Books, will be released October 10th 2023 and is available to preorder at Amazon, Bookshop.org, and itch.io.

some art i got from my friend @themuse-artcorner of skynel and ayru!! :D look at how fuggin pretty these are!!!!! biting biting biting

[id: two different drawings. in the first one, skynel the elf is sitting on her knees in a patch of glowing blue flowers. there are wisp-like particles fluttering around her. she is sitting with her back partially to the camera, looking backward at it with a small smile on her face, looking somewhat worried. she is holding some of the blue flowers in her hand, and there are more tying the end of her braid together. her braid seems to be floating up of its own accord.

in the second drawing, ayru, a spirit from the ori games, is sitting facing the camera, her tail curling in front of her. she is glowing, and she is holding a bunch of mushrooms and orange-and-yellow flowers in her arms. there are more of them sprouting up around her. her eyebrows are up, and she is glancing off to the side. there are little starry particles all around her. to the left of the canvas, her name is spelled out, written so that it goes downward. the background is black. end id]
